STEAM-TRAP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 267,831, dated November21, 1882. Application led December 15. 1881. (Model.) Patented inBelgium November 17, 1880, No. 53,054.

To all whom it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, EMILE BRIART, of Jeumont, in the Department ot'Nord, in the Republic of France, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Steam-Traps, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in' the mechanism illustrated inthe accompanyon this side.

ing drawings, in which- Figure l is a vertical longitudinal section ofthe entire apparatus on the line A B; Fig. 2, a top View; Fig. 3, avertical section of the stand on the line G D; Fig. 4, a detailedhorizontal section on the line m n; Fig. 5, a horizontal section of thewater-reservoir on the line E F, and Fig. 6 a detailed section ot' thevalveseat.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

On the stand V swings a mechanism com posed ofthe hollow globe H, thepipe T, with its vertical prolongation S, and the counterweight I. Thecondensed water enters into the apparatus forced in by the pressure ofthe steam from the pipe G, and passes through the circularly-bent brasspipe L into the globe H,-

where it is collected till the weight of the waterinduces the swingingmechanism to go down By this motion the shaft ot' the valve J, fixedabove the center of the vertical pipe S in the prolongation of its axisby means of a spiral spring, is brought in a straight line with thedouble-j oint piece'm and its fulcrum I.

So the force of the spring isobviated and the latter compressed,.whil ethe double-joint piece to one side, whereby the latter, because it isfixed by the double-joint piecemto the screw bolt I, is drawn downwardclosingin such way the opening in the neck ot' the pipe S. The water inthe standVcan iiow out through the pipe M. Double nuts on thescrew--bolt Ipermit to adjust properly the stop-valve J. The brass pipeL through which the saturated steam enters into the apparatus is bent insuoli shape as to allow easily the swinging of the collecting-globe H,the pipe T, and the counter weight P around the fulcrum on the stand V.

Having thus fully described my iuventi'om what I claim, and 'desire tosecure by Letters Patent,.is

l. In steam-traps, the combination ot' the bent pipe L, thecollecting-globe H, the pipes 'l and S, and the counter-,weight P, withthe stop-valve J, attached to the stand by means of the double-jointpiece a', and the adjustable fulcrum I, substantially as described, andfor the purpose specified.

2; In steam-traps, the combination of the stop-valve J with thedouble-joint piece m and the adjustable bolt I, substantially as setforth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this29th day ot' October, 1881.

EMILE BEIAET.
